Announcing the ACASC and Marc Pro Affinity relationship
Marc Pro Option for members of the ACASC and the ACA:
The ACA Sports Council has formed an Affinity relationship with the Marc Pro Company that has incredible benefits for our membership and a potential for being a great financial resource for the ACA Sports Council.
This benefit applies to all members of the ACA SC and the ACA. Marc Pro normally will offer an automatic introductory off of 5% discount on the Marc Pro unit. The price with this discount is $617.00. However, all qualified members of the ACASC and ACA who decide to join the affiliate program will have the opportunity to buy their first 2 Marc Pro unit for $395.00 per unit. That is an amazing savings. They do this so that the DC can use one unit for themselves, so they can experience the amazing effect and they can also use the second unit for their patients to take home and experience their ability to recover from a hard workout or experience the dramatic “anti inflammatory” properties (see the “Anti-inflammatory” article).

ACA Sports Council Field Manual
3rd Edition
This manual is intended to provide a guideline to the ACA Sports Council members, by introducing important principles in Sports Chiropractic field practice. This manual is intended to outline the chain of command, selection process and field ethics.
It is hoped that following this guideline will allow for consistent operation of events, foster a team approach, aid inter-professional relations and promote the practice of chiropractic within the realm of sports injuries.
It is the hope of the ACA Sports Council that each of its members follow these principles allowing the profession to present the best possible impression to the public, and other sports health care providers inside and outside the arena of Sports Chiropractic.
